Summary

Congressman Mike Lawler calls in to talk about the upcoming 24th anniversary of 9/11, recalling his personal experience as a 15-year-old student whose father narrowly avoided being at the World Financial Center that day. Lawler praises the leadership and unity of President Bush, Mayor Giuliani, and Governor Pataki, as well as the sacrifices of first responders, emphasizing the need to honor their legacy. The discussion shifts to Israel’s strike on Hamas leaders in Qatar, which Lawler supports as necessary to eliminate Hamas, despite regional tensions. He criticizes international calls to recognize a Palestinian state without addressing Hamas’s control and stresses Israel’s obligation to finish the fight. Lawler also calls for restrictions on Iranian officials’ visas during the UN General Assembly and shares the story of Wells Remy, “the man in the red bandana,” as a symbol of American courage and sacrifice.
